 Court Jails Internet Fraudster in Kaduna

 

Justice R.M Aikawa of Federal High Court, sitting in Kaduna has convicted and sentenced one Tisan Shedrack Jerry (a.k.a. Alice Dante)  for fraud.


He was prosecuted by the Kaduna Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on a one-ount charge bordering on impersonation and cybercrime.

 

The charge against him reads: “That you, Tisan Shedrack Jerry (A.K.A. Alice Dante) on or about the 7th of September, 2024 in Kaduna within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, fraudulently impersonated one Alice Dante (a white woman) via Facebook platform, wherein you obtained the total sum of $90 USD and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 22 (2)(b)ii) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention E.t.c) Act, 2015 and punishable under Section 22 (3) of the same Act.”

 

He pleaded “guilty” when the charge was read to him, prompting the prosecution counsel, F.A.I Asemebo to urge the court to convict and sentence him accordingly.

 

Justice Aikawa afterwards convicted and sentenced him to two years imprisonment or to pay a fine of N700,000.00 (Seven Hundred Thousand Naira). In addition to his prison term, he forfeited the sum of $90, being the proceeds of his crime and an Infinix Note 7 Lite phone with IMEI No:353699987654326, being the tool of his crime to the federal government.

 

Jerry was arrested alongside other members of his internet fraud syndicate in an intelligence-driven raid on their hideout in Kaduna sometime this year. Exhibits traced to him proved that he was in the business of defrauding his unsuspecting victims through assumed identities on the internet.
